Bookroo's summary

Millie can't sleep without her yawn, so she embarks on a whimsical journey across the globe. From the family dog to the Statue of Liberty, and even the moon's rabbits, her yawn remains elusive. As she returns home, reflecting on her adventures and new friends, her yawn finally reappears. Will Millie find the rest she seeks? Join her enchanting quest and discover if she can finally drift into dreamland.

From the publisher

The perfect bedtime story, presented with beautiful textured artwork, as Millie travels the world–and beyond–searching for her missing yawn so she can get to sleep. Millie has lost her yawn, and she can’t get to sleep without it. First she looks close to home–the family dog–then goes a little further afield. The Statue of Liberty hasn’t seen her yawn, neither have the Moai heads on Easter Island, nor the penguins at the South Pole, and the rabbits on the moon certainly haven’t. Eventually Millie has to head back home, but as she lies in bed remembering all the wonderful friends she’s made, her yawn reappears, and she–and your child–can finally fall asleep. The pages include beautiful textured artwork. You Jung Byunreceived a master’s degree in fine arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York.
